Two very important meetings last week have moved the campaign on apace.
One was a session chaired by Andrew Lansley, the local MP, which gave local councillors, and parish council reps. the chance to catch up on the evidence that is being pulled together to argue the case against Hanley Grange. This covers issues like infrastructure, transport, true picture on local job situation etc. I really felt that after that meeting, we were all beginning to work as a team.
The second meeting was of all the parish council reps, including from Whittlesford and Thriplow, who have formed the Joint Action Group to get local activity going, letting people know what it planned, doing local publicity, and doing it very well. But there is so little time - next steps are more public meetings to raise awareness, and keeping the pressure on via petitions, letters, press stories, and more evidence gathering for the submission to go to the Housing Minister.
